Expanding the Scope of the Public Performance Right for Sound Recordings
A Legal Analysis of the Performance Rights Act (H.R. 848 and S. 379)
Covers background and history of public performance rights for sound recording, describes licenses for public performance of copyrighted music, and outlines debate over altering existing performance royalty system. Analyzes H.R. 848 and S. 379, both the Performance Rights Act of 2009, to expand public performance right of sound recording copyright holders to include analog audio transmissions, thus requiring terrestrial radio stations to begin making royalty payments to performers; and H. Con. Res. 49, the Supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act, to discourage Congress from imposing new performance fees or royalties for over-the-air broadcasts of sound recordings by radio stations.
